Re: Never again on PE - share your mistakes

Got my first (probably not last) fail this afternoon, on CAT 7. I got flustered right off the bat, flubbing the first talk with ground, and that set the tone. Then, freaked out and nervous, I forgot the 2-way com rule for class C, flying around waiting for a "clearance" to transit Ontario,...

VFR flight plan route of flight

Beside the field for route of flight, there is a "Paste" button. What do you paste there? I'm about to do the CAT 7, but I want to fly a little north to give myself some time to set up for the KONT transition clearance. I put a GPS-coordinates waypoint into Skyvector, so would I paste that...

Re: PEaware: What am I doing wrong?

Got my cat 5 this weekend, and apparently did everything right this time, because the flight is on PEaware.

Gotta say, wow, there have been some epic chewings-out the last few times I've flown (luckily none involving me, knock on wood). Maybe that 40-point IQ drop happens to other people too. :)

Re: PEaware: What am I doing wrong?

Ha, turns out I'm an idiot. I confused signing on to PE with filling out the flight plan.

I'm reasonably intelligent, usually. But the moment I log in to PE my IQ drops 40 points, I swear.

But hey, I got the cat 4!

Re: PEaware: What am I doing wrong?

Hi sono, wow thanks for all that research! On my cat 2 I neglected to include the n (and was properly chastised for it) but did include it in the cat 3 flight plan. Planning on the cat 4 today, will see what happens. I'm thinking it's more important to get the cats logged than to have my flights imm...

PEaware: What am I doing wrong?

I did my CAT 2 a few days ago, and CAT 3 a few minutes ago. I am listed as having passed both of them, but the flights never appeared on PEaware. The last flight that did was Sep. 30, which was my CAT 1 IIRC. Both times I've completed a flight plan, and taxied to parking after landing, and sat for a...

Re: Getting Started with Sim video, SOCAL scenery

Cool. I watched a good tutorial on Ortho4XP and hope to install some tonight. What could possibly go wrong? :lol:

Lancair Legacy "numbers"

I will be flying the Aerobask Legacy FG for XP. Can anyone (Keith??) suggest power combinations for the phases of flight?
